Abstract
We present a new x-ray imaging method with a potential application to ultrarelativistic particle identification by transition radiation detection. It is based on conversion of the x-ray photons in a thin layer of CsI and the amplification of secondary emitted electrons in a low-pressure multistep avalanche electron multiplier. The obvious advantages of the solid x-ray convertor are paralax free imaging and the ultrafast response. The detector has an x-ray localization resolution accuracy better than 0.2 mm (fwhm), a subnanosecond time response and reduced sensitivity to minimum ionizing particles as compared to Xe-filled detectors. We presents the experimental results on the detector performance with x-ray of 6-60 keV and with relativistic electrons. They are accompanied by mathematical modelling and Monte Carlo simulations of transition radiation detectors based on this novel techniques. (author).
